When last we checked, a slim majority of fans said Harry Potter would die in the last book in JK Rowling's series.
The informal poll, conducted by HPANA, garnered over 45,000 votes and was even cited by The Sun in an article.
With Rowling's recent revelations about upcoming deaths, we decided to ask again: Dead meat, or life so sweet?
Unlike our last poll, however, you only get two choices: Yay or nay.
Vote now and spread the word.
Put the poll on your web site, blog or journal! Just copy and paste the following code:

I'm surprised so many people here say he will die. I mean come on, how many childrens books do you know where the hero dies at the end? Yeah there are some corny, tear inducing, one dimensional stories but apart from that... Not to mention that the books are written from Harry's point of view. You can't just kill your point of view, can you? So I say, no way.

That’s not exactly like my last message but I cannot decide…
Harry has been through so much, he deserves a happy live, and killing him of so he can go back to his (dead) family just does not seem right…Ahhhh… I have no idea what to believe! He should have a chance to live his live the way he wants, not trying to save the world! He’s just a teenager!
Maybe just a part of him dies with the scar but he survives??? Can’t that happen???
Ron and Hermione would never let Harry die…they both risked their lives to protect him in the past. Maybe they are the 2 people that die in the end…
I would cry by eyes out if he died, that would be just too terrible…
Harry has to live!!! But…. There are worse things than death…

I don't know...
It's just that the books are all from Harry's POV, and if she killed him off, then the book would just, well, end.
I say Harry lives!

I'm voting no. There is NO WAY Jo can kill him off! Okay, I understand why she would, but unless she wants mass protests outside her house or something, she CAN'T!

I think she'll end up offing him in the end. I mean imagine the amount of mail she'd get to continue the series! Either way, I can't wait to read the last book.

He's a goner. Of course, I've thought that for a long time, but no one seems to be with me on that point. People WISH for his survival. To the point of SAYING it can't happen.

I voted yes that he will die.Whether the theory I am going to write is right or wrong I think he will die. My theory is that Jk Rowling said that two characters will die for Harry potter series.They can be anyone except that I thought if the two characters might be Voldemort and Harry?What do you all think?

I have a really hard time with this- I could see JKR going either way. However, now that she has said she'd be willing to kill him, I don't think she will.

I can't even think that Harry could die in the next book...
It would be too sad... And it would mean that evil wins against good...

I said yes. I watched her interview on Richard and Judy and can understand her view that she doesn't want other people to continue with Harry. I really am hoping that he doesn't die. I don't want him to. I've just got to hope!

I voted 'yes' mainly because i hope he will. I can't think of another way of the serise ending that wouldn't be cliche, cheesy, dissapointing or anti-climatic. And any ending like that would be a great shame as an ending to such a great collection of books.

I said no on this poll. One because i dont want him to and two because i think he will defeat voldemort. I guess were all have to wait and see for a while though.

No! I don't want him to die! It's really hard to imagine the magical world without Harry Potter. (Though imagine the sales that would go up with Keenex if he did) I actually believe that it won't be so, I think he is just that special a character as to be able to triumph over LV without having to pass on.

I voted yes...but not because I don't want him to nor because I don't think he'll defeat Voldemort...it just seems to fit. I can see the last line being something like "and all due to Harry Potter, the boy with the lightning-shaped scar."

I voted no as well, but not because of my own feelings. In the intereview she said she could relate to authors who kill off their own characters, but I think that Jo really would rather not have the hate mail. Also, she was joking about writing Harry Potter and the Mid-Life Crisis later on. It may have just been a joke, but in order to have a mid-life crisis he would have to be alive, wouldn't he?
